Intensivist, Juan Carlos Zubieta, MD discusses common electrolyte disturbances seen in the critical care unit patient and how to address these for improved patient outcomes.
The field of perfusion is characterized by its intricate relationship with physiology, requiring an in-depth understanding of various biological processes. One of the critical areas that every healthcare professional, including perfusionists, must grasp is the management of electrolyte disturbances. This is why our extensive video library, the largest knowledge resource for perfusionists worldwide, is delighted to present an invaluable webinar titled "Management of Common Electrolyte Disturbances" by Juan Carlos Zubieta.
Overview
Electrolyte imbalances are a frequent concern in medical settings, often complicating the clinical picture in acute and chronic illnesses. This webinar aims to provide a comprehensive guide for understanding and managing common electrolyte disturbances, with a particular focus on hyponatremia.
Key Topics Covered
- Concept of Osmolality and Tonicity: Understand the basic physiology behind fluid balance in the body and how it impacts electrolyte concentrations.
- Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH): Dive into the role of ADH in fluid and electrolyte management, including its physiological actions and clinical relevance.
- Hyponatremia: This section is dedicated to one of the most common electrolyte imbalances, covering its causes, symptoms, complications, and treatment strategies.
